Free Quilt Pattern: Two-Step Quilt (Jelly Roll)

Another easy and quick quilt pattern using a Jelly Roll (2.5 inch strips).  Make an easy block and lay them out to the size that you want.  Great for beginner quilters, to make donation quilts, or for a gift quilt in a hurry.  Thank you to Missouri Star Quilt Company for the tutorial.

Instructions

Step 1:
Get the 1 3/4 yards of background fabric and cut it into 5″ strips, then sub-cut into 5″ squares.
Step 2:
Match your 2 1/2″ strips into two. Lay them right sides together and sew a quarter of an inch seam allowance on the side. Do this for the whole pack. You’re going to have 21 sets of them. Iron them open.
Step 3:
Get one of the units, cut the selvage off, and cut a 5″ square. Take one of the 5″ background squares and place it on the 5″ square unit. Place them right sides together and sew on one side. Press it open. It should be 9 inches. This will be block A.
Step 4:
Get another of the units, cut the selvage, and cut a 9-inch rectangle. This will be block B.
Step 5:
Take the block B and lay it on the side of block A. Sew them together with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Once done, press it open, and square it up if needed. It should end up with a 9-inch block. Now, you have your finished block.
...
You need seven blocks across and eight blocks down. When you assemble this, each block should be alternating. Sew them in rows first, then press them flat. Once done, sew the rows together with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Put a 2 1/2″ inner border, then a 6″ outside border and you are done.
